Today’s guest picture shows that it is possible to visit a garden on just the right day as my brother Andrew discovered when he visited Lea Gardens this morning. We had another warm and pleasant day here, often cloudy but with occasional sunshine. After our usual leisurely breakfast, I did the crossword and then cycledContinue reading “A land of milk and honey”

Straight up
Today’s guest guest picture comes from my Somerset correspondent, Venetia. She has been visiting local gardens, and kindly sent me this picturesque scene. We had another lovely spring day here, not sunny all the time, but sunny enough to keep us cheerful. I dillied and dallied a bit, doing some tidying up and shredding ofContinue reading “Straight up”
Spotters spotted
Today’s guest picture comes from my brother Andrew. He headed north to Penrith today and stopped at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle for a lunch break. It didn’t get as cold overnight as had been feared, but it was still a chilly morning with a keen north westerly wind when we got up. IContinue reading “Spotters spotted”

Today’s guest picture is another from camera club member, Stan. He knows that I like gates and took this picture during our little fall of snow in March just for me. After yesterday’s rain, we welcomed a much better day here today. We had some business to do in the morning, but when it wasContinue reading “Getting cross”
Striking a balance
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He went down to the sea at Portobello this afternoon and found that Fife had disappeared under a cloud. This was an illusion though, as our other son Tony was able to post a picture of the sun shining on his side of the Forth too. WeContinue reading “Striking a balance”

Enjoying a day out in England
Today’s guest picture comes from our son Alistair. He too found some ducks in a pond, but it was a rather classier pond than the little affair in our garden The day started rather sadly when we waved goodbye to Tony, Marianne and the dogs as they set off to drive back to East Wemyss.Continue reading “Enjoying a day out in England”
Good judgement
Today’s guest picture comes from Mary Jo, my Manitoba correspondent. She has been house sitting in Hawaii with a friend and enjoying the mellow temperatures. For some reason they didn’t go swimming. We had a definite spring day here today, though it was rather deficient when it came to sunshine. The main thing was thatContinue reading “Good judgement”
A surprise for Mrs Tootlepedal
Today’s guest picture comes from Portsmouth where my sister Caroline spotted this fine magnolia. I got up early this morning and was pleased to find that it was a fine day. Fine days are always welcome but this one was especially welcome as our older son Tony drove all the way down from East WemyssContinue reading “A surprise for Mrs Tootlepedal”
A fairly dull day
Today’s picture comes from our younger son Alistair. He came across this very fine fungus last week. We had a marked change in the weather here today, with some very heavy but short showers interrupting a grey and damp day. Luckily, the early rain had stopped by the time that I walked up to theContinue reading “A fairly dull day”
